"This must be the worst Indian meal we have ever had. It was tasteless and expensive for what we got . Our main meals came on very small dishes almost like side plates the chicken tikka was thick wrong colour and no taste, as was my husbands chicken dopiaza the coconut rice was nothing like coconut rice , the garlic nan was like cardboard. It was no better than a supermarket meal deal in fact that’s an insult to the supermarkets , their food is better) The decor is awful so old and tired, it’s dirty in fact we nearly turned and walked back out but we were told the food is nice. Now I wish we had. I certainly would never recommend anyone to eat there. With response to your comment to me being extremely drunk I take great offence to this as I’m a 61 year old lady, if I was as drunk as you imply why did you serve me ? As this is against licensing laws ? . I was not drunk I had one small bottle at your establishment as I was driving, so if that’s all you can come back with I feel this is very petty and wrong of you. We did not have 3 courses we had a starter and a main meal each and we couldn’t eat the food as not up to standard Yes we paid the bill in full simply for politeness. I feel you should take on board a little criticism and learn from it , speaking from a couple who have run numerous food outlets. Also maybe read some of the genuine comments from others Caroline"

One of the worst Indian takeaway I have ever been. Food was not fresh, and the curry was not what I was expecting. It was worst experience, not a worthy one!

It’s not somewhere you take someone you like .. portions were small and food the worst I’ve ever had for a sit down meal out . They need a new chef …The restaurant itself is dark and dingy. looks like it’s not been decorated in 30 years … only one toilet that is disgusting ….one to Avoid sorry

Worst curry ever. Starter(mixed kebabs) was pieces of chicken tikka meat you buy in a supermarket and random other small pieces of unidentified meat. Chicken tikka masala was again pieces of chicken tikka from what looked like supermarket meat. The only positive was the one and only waiter who was friendly and had a bit of banter about him.

Walked in without booking, got a lovely table with a view! The chap looking after me was really good, as I hadn’t been here before I wasn’t sure of the spicing and I asked for a Balti, he said it was hot but could be done medium, which I opted for, after he served it he brought me a small bowl of yogurt sauce to mix in if it was too hot? I didn’t need it as the spicing was spot on! Very tasty and great value! View menu

First time eating here and we really enjoyed our food it was also lovely to be recognised with a huge happy welcome from the staff after seeing them earlier while we had a lengthy wait in a nail bar lol. The volume of people collecting takeaways and arriving to eat in tells you just how nice this place is. Lovely staff lovely food we will see you again soon just hopefully not after a 2 hour wait in the nail salon hahaha.

Probably the worst curry i have ever experienced in my life, The curry is tasteless and as we all ordered different curries they all looked the same, very watery and the rice looked like it had come straight out of a packet and into the microwave, i cant understand how the locals think this place serves great curry[baffling! . Have they never eaten anywhere else? On the plus side the staff are friendly enough no complaints there, the decor really needs an update very dated.

"We arrived here for a 2 night stay for a wedding (Fri sat night). PROS: Lynsey the manageress she 100% makes it so fabulous. Lovely, welcoming, looked after us brilliantly. Due to some staff shortages, she was doing what seemed like 10 jobs at once! We ate on one of the nights food was delicious! Great service tasty food. Breakfast was also spot on set us up brilliantly for the day ahead on the Saturday! The Willow room which we stayed in was fab ideal size, lovely cosy too! The whole 2 night stay was extremely reasonably priced the place itself has a great feel about it like a big cosy house! CONS: If you like total darkness, take an eye mask for sleeping as the rooms can get really bright from the early hours. Also, depending on the room, it’s on quite a busy road so can be quite nosy it would be worth having earplugs if you like a quiet surrounding. Due to staffing, the bar doesn’t stay open that late, so be mindful of this, they will however put drinks in your room if you can’t make it back in time for the bar closing. Taxis there are no local taxis, so arranging transport to the wedding we were attending was a nightmare which we didn’t account for! Luckily after 6 different phone calls, we managed to get sorted. The only gripe I had was the confusion over the bill if you decide to charge things to your room, the bills aren’t itemised so it’s difficult to keep track of what has been charged. There was some confusion on checkout over what we should shouldn’t have been charged for, so definitely choose to pay for any extras outright to avoid any confusion or uncertainty before check out. Other than that, it was one of the nicest, most personal stays we’ve had out in a long long time. This was mainly down to the Manageress Lynsey who is fabulous at her job really does make it feel like home makes you feel super welcomed relaxed. Thank you lynsey for really making a stay a one to remember."
